Abstract
In this research, the effects of HCN adsorption on the surface of the pristine, Ge, P, and GeP doped boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) are investigated by using density function theory at the B3LYP/6–31G(d, p) level of theory.

In this research, the effects of HCN adsorption on the surface of the pristine, Ge, P, and GeP doped boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) are investigated by using density function theory at the B3LYP/6–31G(d, p) level of theory. At the first step, we consider different configurations for adsorbing HCN molecule on the surface of BNNTs. The optimized models are used to calculate the structural, electrical, NQR parameters and quantum descriptors such as global hardness, global softness, electrophilicity, gap energy, Fermi level energy, electronic chemical potential, and electronegativity of BNNTs/HCN complex. Inspection of results demonstrates that with doping Ge impurity the sensivity of BNNTs for adsorbing HCN molecule increase significantly from original values. The adsorption of HCN molecule on the surface of Ge-doped is more stable and favourable than other those models. With adsorbing of HCN gas and doping of Ge and GeP the NQR, quantum molecular descriptors and molecular orbital energies of the nanotube alter significantly from original state. On the other hand the electrophilicity index of E model is more than those other models.

In this research, we studied the structure, properties and NMR parameters of interaction F2 gas with pristine and 3C-doped (8, 0) zigzag models of boron phosphide nanotubes (BPNTs). in order to reach these aims, we considered four different configurations for adsorption of F2gas on the outer and inner surfaces of BPNTs. The structures of all models were optimized by using density functional theory (DFT).The chemical shielding (CS) tensors at the sites of 11B and 31P nuclei were computed from the optimized structures and then the computed chemical shielding tensors were converted to isotropic chemical shielding (CSI) and anisotropic chemical shielding (CSA). Due to the donor electron effects of 3C doped atoms, the chemical shielding isotropic (CSI) of F2 gas on surface of BPNTs was significantly more than pristine models. The results showed that F2 adsorption on surface of nanotube was exothermic and 3C-doped decreased the adsorption energy values. The calculated results proved that the chemical activity of complex BPNTs/F2 has increased and hence the chemical stability of the nanotube has decreased.

The aim of this research is studying the effects of Ge-doped on CO adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) by using DFT theory. For this purpose, eight models of CO adsorption on the surfaces of BNNTs are considered. At first step, all structures were optimized at B3LYP and 6-31G (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure, adsorption energy, HOMO - LUMO orbitals, gap energy, quantum molecular descriptors, and NQR parameters were determined. The bond lengths neighborhood sites of Ge-doped of BNNTs at all models were increased and the bond angles decreased. The small adsorption energy value and large interaction distance show that the adsorption of CO on BNNTs is weakly physical adsorption due to weak Van der Waals interaction. Our calculated results show that the adsorption of CO on the surface of undoped models is more favorable than Ge-doped models. The NQR parameters of the first layer in all the models are larger than those other layers.
